Re: wheel alignment

Find a place you can stay with the van and watch, I use a place local that allows me in the bay so I can help the guy who has never seen a T3 before, this time he was setting it up using the steering wheel rather then checking the centre marking on the steering rack, once I pointed this out we neede...

Re: The Green Doka Machine

Before ordering a full gear linkage kit I stripped and assessed the state of things (once I removed the underseal!) In the end the only parts I replaced were both flanges at the box end, both linkage bushes, u-joint O rings and the relay lever, new boots, everything else was in good working order :m...

Re: The Green Doka Machine

Chipping away at the jobs, this thread should be called 'The Underseal Remover' cleaning the parts before refitting is taking a lot of time. We are moving house in the not too distant future once I'm set up again I plan to get a roll over jig and get the underneath 'dry ice' blasted to remove all th...

Re: The Green Doka Machine

I have a spare few weeks before the Jubilee comes back from the paint shop so I decided to get started on the Doka. A few new additions....15" Mefros, blasted, zinc sprayed and powder coated factory grey ready to be fitted with Yokohama Geolander AT tyres, not aggressive but a bit more interest...

Re: Coil Testing Confusion....

The primary coil runs between the two spade terminals. So if you measure the resistance across these you should get something very low, less than 1 ohm. The secondary coil runs from the negative spade terminal to the centre HT terminal. So from centre to negative you've got just the secondary coil,...

Coil Testing Confusion....

Hello I have been following the Brickwerks guide to test the coil on my Doka (1.9 DG) and I'm confused. According to the guide this is the readings I should be getting.... https://i.postimg.cc/jSt031Fb/001-9.jpg Firstly my coil (Part Number - 1220522016) is not on the list. https://i.postimg.cc/ry7q...
